Abstract:
A device to control a genset engine may use multiple feedback loops to provide a fast stable response to load changes. An outer feedback loop may receive frequency measurements and power measurements of a genset engine and determine a dispatch adjustment comprising a frequency setpoint based on the frequency measurements and power measurements. A middle feedback loop may comprise a double deadband droop filter that periodically generates a pulse based on the frequency setpoint and the power measurements. The middle feedback loop may update an inner loop setpoint based on the pulse. An inner feedback loop may alter a target fuel valve reference of the genset engine based on the inner loop setpoint generated by the second controller and a fuel valve droop.
